13 | Install
14 | -------
15 | First thing: download this script.
16 | 
17 | Now we can proceed to the installation of the fix.
18 | 
19 | Assuming that you've downloaded this repository in the `Download` folder, open a terminal and digit:
20 | 
21 | `sudo chmod +x ~/Download/elantech-clickpad-fix/install.sh`
22 | 
23 | `cd ~/Download/elantech-clickpad-fix/`
24 | 
25 | Now we can install the fix:
26 | 
27 | `./install`
28 | 
29 | Alternatively, you can give execution permissions to `install.sh` right clicking it. So you can execute it simply double clicking it and selecting the execution option.
30 | 
31 | Reboot the system.
32 | 
33 | Notes
34 | -----
35 | The two-finger right-click will continue to work.
36 | 
37 | Once the installation has been done you can delete the downloaded folder.
38 | 
39 | Limits / Future work
40 | --------------------
41 | This script works only with ETPS/2 Elantech Clickpad, to make it works with other clickpad devices you have to substitute the value of the `devicename` variable in the script with the exact name of your device. To find out the exact name of the device you have to execute in the terminal the xinput command.
